Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Zambian DJ and Producer, El Mukuka once again joins forces with Congolese superstar Gaz Mawete on the brand-new single \u2018Te Ou\u2019 \u2013 out across all digital platforms today.<\/p>\n

Following the success of \u2018Bosana\u2019 released in Mid-2021, El Mukuka collaborates again with Congolese singer Gaz Mawete, and this time on the original release \u2018Te Ou\u2019. Mukuka recalls how the reunion came about saying \u201cAfter working on \u2018Bosana\u2019 in 2021 I became fascinated with Gaz\u2019s voice and writing style and always knew we would work together again.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of 2021 I started working on the instrumental for \u2018Te Ou\u2019 and as I began to think about vocals and who to approach in terms of vocalists and songwriters, my gut feeling told me to send the demo to Gaz first to see if he was keen. Thankfully he was and we quickly dove right into the project. One of the most interesting things about \u2018Te Ou\u2019 is the song structure. I think it\u2019s rather atypical but works at the same time, which I love.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Mawete lyrically mixes his native Lingala language with French and explains what \u2018Te Ou\u2019 is about, saying \u201cThe song \u2018Te Ou\u2019 [translated to English, meaning \u201cWhere are you\u201d) is a cry of alarm for my soul mate, who moves further and further away from me.\u201d<\/p>\n

A maestro in the Afro House genre along with his world class production skills, El Mukuka has always had a great intuition when it came to which artists he should work with. Gaz Mawete is certainly one of those talents and Mukuka has much respect for him. \u201cWorking with Gaz has really been such a smooth experience. He thoroughly understands his strengths as a singer and has a unique approach to songwriting, which I think generates really interesting results when mixed with electronic music. Lingala is also such a beautiful and musical language and when mixed with a bit of French it\u2019s an explosion of colors!\u201d mentions Mukuka. There\u2019s seems to be a real musical connection between Mukuka and Mawete, who intriguingly have still not met in person.<\/p>\n

Mawete elaborates saying \u201cWorking with El Mukuka is always a pleasure, there is a certain alchemy that binds us. It\u2019s the second song we\u2019ve made together, but we\u2019ve never met and that\u2019s the magic of the world we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018El Mukuka \u2013 Te Ou (feat. Gaz Mawete)\u2019 is out now across all digital platforms.<\/b><\/p>\n
